Definitions

  • the present invention relates to absorbent articles such as disposable diapers, and more particularly, to absorbent articles having a gasketing cuff and a barrier cuff which improve the containment characteristics of the absorbent article.
  • absorbent articles such as disposable diapers and adult incontinent briefs
  • Such articles are thus intended to prevent body exudates from soiling, wetting, or otherwise contaminating clothing or other articles, such as bedding, that come in contact with the wearer.
  • the most common mode of failure for such products occurs when body exudates leak out of the gaps between the article and the wearer's leg or waist to adjacent clothing because they are not immediately absorbed within the article.
  • urine tends to wick through the topsheet to the edge of the absorbent article where it can come in contact with clothing or other articles.
  • loose fecal material that is not easily absorbed by the absorbent article tends to "float" on the liquid-receiving surface and work its way past the legs or waist of the wearer.
  • Contemporary disposable diapers have a topsheet, a backsheet, an absorbent core, and elasticized leg flaps generally formed from an elastic member being enclosed in the continuous topsheet and backsheet which extend beyond the edges of the absorbent core.
  • These elasticized leg flaps prove effective generally to prevent wicking and overflow from the fluid laden diaper to clothing contacting the edges of the diaper in that the elasticized leg flaps present a fluid impervious barrier between the edge of the diaper and the contacting clothing, and in addition, provide a gasketing action about the legs of the wearer.
  • leakage along the perimeter of the diaper may still occur.
  • As liquids are discharged onto the topsheet some of the liquid flows on the surface of the topsheet and some of the liquid is absorbed by and wicks through the topsheet. As the liquid migrates toward the edges of the diaper, it may come in contact with clothing or undergarments where it can be absorbed by and wicked into such garments.
  • Disposable diapers may be provided with barrier cuffs which inhibit loose fecal material or gushes of urine or liquids from soiling the wearer's clothing.
  • the barrier cuffs restrain the free flow of this material and provide a structure to hold such material within the diaper so that as such material freely floats or flows on the topsheet of the diaper, it is contained within the diaper.
  • EP-A-0109126 which relates to a diaper formed with a breathable leg cuff which serves to resist the passage of liquid whilst being permeable to water vapour.
  • EP-A-0109126 which relates to a diaper formed with a breathable leg cuff which serves to resist the passage of liquid whilst being permeable to water vapour.
  • GB-A-2161059 which discloses a disposable diaper provided with elasticated cuffs in the leg openings of the diaper and elasticated flaps disposed laterally inwardly of the respective leg cuffs and serving to inhibit the leakage of fecal material from the body contacting surface of the diaper.
  • the flaps are made of the same material as and are unitary with the liquid permeable liner forming the body contacting surface and are disposed so as to be inboard of the longitudinal side edges of the absorbent matrix of the diaper.
  • an integral disposable absorbent article comprising an absorbent core having a garment surface and a body surface; a liquid impervious backsheet positioned adjacent said garment surface of said absorbent core; a liquid pervious topsheet positioned adjacent said body surface of said absorbent core, and an elastically contractible gasketing cuff disposed adjacent to an edge of the absorbent article; a barrier cuff having a proximal edge and a distal edge and a channel therebetween, said barrier cuff being disposed adjacent said gasketing cuff; and spacing means operatively associated with said barrier cuff for spacing said distal edge from the body surface of said absorbent core, wherein said barrier cuff is hydrophobic; and said topsheet extends outwardly toward and terminates inwardly of said proximal edge of said barrier cuff and seal means are positioned along said proximal edge for joining said proximal edge to the absorbent article so as to provide a leakage-resistant seal along said proximal edge
  • an integral disposable absorbent article having a front waist region, a back waist region, and a crotch region, and comprising an absorbent core having side edges, a garment surface and a body surface; a liquid impervious backsheet positioned adjacent said garment surface of said absorbent core, a liquid pervious topsheet positioned adjacent said body surface of said absorbent core, a gasketing flap extending outwardly from and along each side edge of said absorbent core in at least the crotch region; a flap elastic member operatively associated with each of said gasketing flaps to thereby form gasketing cuffs; a barrier cuff disposed adjacent each of said gasketing cuffs, said barrier cuffs each having a channel portion comprising a proximal edge and a distal edge, each of said proximal edges being positioned inboard of said flap elastic member in at least the crotch region; and spacing means operatively associated with said barrier cuff for spacing said distal edge
  • integral disposable absorbent article refers to articles which absorb and contain body exudates and more specifically refers to articles which are placed against or in proximity to the body of the wearer to absorb and contain the various exudates discharged from the body, which are intended to be discarded after a single use (i.e., they are not intended to be laundered or otherwise restored or reused), and which are unitary in that they do not require separate manipulative parts like a separate holder and liner.
  • a preferred embodiment of the integral disposable absorbent article of the present invention, diaper 20, is shown in Figure 1.
  • the term “diaper” refers to a garment generally worn by infants and incontinent persons that is worn about the lower torso of the wearer. It should be understood, however, that the present invention is also applicable to other integral disposable absorbent articles such as incontinent briefs and the like.
  • Figure 1 is a plan view of the diaper 20 of the present invention in its flat-out, uncontracted state (i.e., with all elastic induced contraction pulled out) with portions of the structure being cut-away to more clearly show the construction of the diaper 20 and with the portion of the diaper 20 which contacts the wearer facing the viewer.
  • the diaper 20 is shown in Figure 1 to have a front waist region 22, a back waist region 24, a crotch region 26 and a periphery 28 which is defined by the outer edges of the diaper 20 in which the longitudinal edges are designated 30 and the end edges are designated 32.
  • the diaper 20 additionally has a lateral centerline which is designated 34 and a longitudinal centerline which is designated 36.
  • the diaper 20 comprises a liquid pervious topsheet 38, the liquid-receiving surface of the diaper 20 being generally defined by the topsheet 38 and being designated 40; a liquid impervious backsheet 42; an absorbent core 44 having a garment surface 85, a body surface 86, and edges that are designated side edges 46 and waist edges 47 and comprising an absorbent layer 48 and first and second tissue layers 50 and 52, respectively; a pair of tape-tab fasteners 54; gasketing cuffs 56 each comprising a gasketing flap 58 and one or more flap elastic members 60; barrier cuffs 62 each having a flap portion 68, a channel portion 70 comprising a proximal edge 64 and a distal edge 66, and ends 72; spacing means 76 such as a spacing elastic member 77 for spacing the distal edge 66 away from the liquid-receiving surface 40; and seal means 78 such as an adhesive bead for adjoining the proximal edge 64 to the gasketing flaps 58.
  • the diaper 20 additionally
  • Figure 1 shows a preferred embodiment of the diaper 20 in which the backsheet 42 has length and width dimensions generally larger than those of the absorbent core 44.
  • the backsheet 42 extends beyond the edges of the absorbent core 44 to thereby form the periphery 28 of the diaper 20.
  • the periphery 28 defines the outer perimeter or, in other words, the edges of the diaper 20.
  • the periphery 28 comprises the longitudinal edges 30 and the end edges 32.
  • the topsheet 38 is not coterminous with the backsheet 42 along at least the longitudinal edges 30 but is preferably associated with and superposed on the backsheet 42 adjacent the end edges 32.
  • the diaper 20 has front and back waist regions 22 and 24 extending, respectively, from the end edges 32 of the diaper periphery 28 toward the lateral centerline 34 of the diaper 20 a distance from 1/4 to 1/3 the length of the diaper 20.
  • the waist regions comprise those portions of the diaper 20 which, when worn, encircle the waist of the wearer.

  • FIG 2 is fragmentary sectional view taken along line 2-2 of Figure 1 and depicts a preferred diaper construction in the crotch region 26 of the diaper 20.
  • the absorbent core 44 comprises the absorbent layer 48 that is shown as being completely enveloped by the first and second tissue layers 50 and 52 which define the garment surface 85 and the body surface 86.
  • the absorbent core 44 is disposed between the topsheet 38 and the backsheet 42; the backsheet 42 extending beyond the side edge 46 of the absorbent core 44.
  • the flap portion 68 of the barrier cuff 62 is formed by affixing portions of a separate barrier cuff member to the backsheet 42 adjacent the longitudinal edge 30 of the diaper 20 with attachment means 88 such as an adhesive; a leakage-resistant seal being formed by the attachment means 88, the flap portion 68 and the backsheet 42 to provide protection against leakage of liquids wicking along the topsheet 38.
  • the flap portion 68 of the barrier cuff 62 and the backsheet 42 define the gasketing flap 58 and enclose the flap elastic members 60 adjacent the longitudinal edge 30.
  • the flap elastic members 60 are secured in the barrier cuff-backsheet formed gasketing flap 58 by flap elastic attachment means 90.
  • the elastically contractible gasketing cuff 56 is thereby formed by the gasketing flap 58 and the flap elastic members 60.
  • the channel portion 70 of the barrier cuff 62 is contiguous with the flap portion 68 and comprises the proximal edge 64 and the distal edge 66.
  • the proximal edge 64 of the barrier cuff 62 is formed inboard of the gasketing cuff 56, preferably between the side edge 46 of the absorbent core 44 and the flap elastic members 60, by joining a segment of the barrier cuff member to the backsheet 42 by the seal means 78 such as an adhesive bead so as to form a leakage-resistant seal along the proximal edge 64 to present a barrier to liquids wicking through the topsheet 38 so as to prevent the liquids from wicking underneath the barrier cuffs to the edges of the diaper 20.
  • the distal edge 66 is disposed inboard of the proximal edge 64 and is not secured to any underlying elements of the diaper 20.
  • the distal edge 66 is formed by folding the end of the barrier cuff member back upon itself and securing it to another segment of the barrier cuff member by the distal attachment means 92 to form a tunnel.
  • a spacing means 76 such as a spacing elastic member 77 is enclosed in the tunnel that is formed when the end of the barrier cuff member is folded back upon itself; the spacing elastic member 77 being secured in the barrier cuff 62 by the spacing elastic attachment means 94.
  • the distal edge 66 is thus spaced away from the liquid-receiving surface 40 by the elastic gathering action of the spacing elastic member 77; a channel 96 is thereby being formed by at least the proximal edge 64 and the distal edge 66.
  • the channel 96 is shown as being open and ready to restrain, contain and hold body exudates until the diaper 20 is removed from the wearer.

  • the flap portion 68 of the barrier cuff 62 is formed by affixing portions of a separate barrier cuff member to the backsheet 42 adjacent the longitudinal edge 30 of the diaper 20 with an attachment means 88 such as an adhesive; a leakage-resistant seal being formed by the attachment means 88, the flap portion 68 and the backsheet 42 to provide protection against leakage of liquids emanating from the edges of the absorbent core 44 or wicking past the seal along the proximal edge 64.
  • the flap portion 68 of the barrier cuff 62 and the backsheet 42 define the gasketing flap 58.
  • a gasketing cuff 56 is not preferably disposed in the waist regions such that the flap elastic members 60 do not extend into this portion of the gasketing flap 58 and are not shown in Figure 3.
  • the channel portion 70 of the barrier cuff 62 is contiguous with the flap portion 68 and comprises the proximal edge 64 and the distal edge 66.
  • the proximal edge 64 is formed by securing a segment of the barrier cuff member to the underlying structure (tissue layer 50) of the diaper 20 by the seal means 78 such as an adhesive bead.
  • the topsheet 38 covers a portion of the body surface 86 of the absorbent core 44 and terminates inwardly of and preferably adjacent the proximal edge 64 where it is preferably secured with the proximal edge 64 by the seal means 78 to provide a leakage-resistant seal along the proximal edge 64.
  • the distal edge 66 is secured inboard of the proximal edge 64 to the underlying structure (topsheet 38) of the diaper 20 by the closing means 80 such as an adhesive bead. Therefore, the distal edge 66 is closed (i.e., it is not open nor capable of being spaced away from the liquid-receiving surface 40) such that inversion of the barrier cuffs is prevented.
  • a spacing means 76 such as a spacing elastic member 77 is not disposed in this region because the distal edge 66 is preferably secured closed and is not designed to be spaced away from the liquid receiving surface 40 in the waist regions.
  • the channel 96 is not open to restrain the flow of body exudates in the waist regions, it may act to contain and hold exudates which flow along the channel 96.
  • the absorbent core 44 may be any means which is generally compressible, conformable, non-irritating to the wearer's skin, and capable of absorbing and retaining liquids and certain body exudates.
  • a preferred absorbent core 44 has a garment surface 85 and a body surface 86 and comprises an absorbent layer 48 and first and second tissue layers 50 and 52, respectively. The first and second tissue layers 50 and 52 overlay the major surfaces of the absorbent layer 48 to form the garment surface 85 and the body surface 86.
  • the absorbent layer 48 may be manufactured in a wide variety of sizes and shapes (e.g., rectangular, hourglass, etc.) and from a wide variety of liquid absorbent materials commonly used in disposable diapers and other absorbent articles, such as comminuted wood pulp which is generally referred to as airfelt. Examples of other suitable absorbent materials include creped cellulose wadding, absorbent foams, absorbent sponges, super absorbent polymers, absorbent gelling materials, or any equivalent materials or combination of materials.
  • the total absorbent capacity of the absorbent layer 48 should, however, be compatible with the design exudate loading in the intended use of the diaper 20. Further, the size and absorbent capacity of the absorbent layer 48 may be varied to accommodate wearers ranging from infants through adults.
  • a preferred embodiment of the diaper 20 shown in Figure 1 has an hourglass-shaped absorbent layer 48 and is intended to be worn by infants ranging in weight from 5 kgs to 12 kgs (12 pounds to 26 pounds).
  • the airfelt used in the absorbent layer 48 weighs from 30 grams to 56 grams, has a generally uniform caliper, and has an absorbent capacity of from 8 grams to 16 grams of water per gram of absorbent material. It should be understood, however, that the size, shape, configuration, and total absorbent capacity of the absorbent layer 48 may be varied to accommodate wearers ranging from infants through adults.
  • the dimensions, shape, and configuration of the absorbent layer 48 may be varied (e.g., the absorbent layer may have a varying caliper, or a hydrophilic gradient, or may contain absorbent gelling materials).
  • the absorbent layer 48 is preferably a batt of airfelt 32 cm wide (lateral dimension), 45 cm long (longitudinal dimension) and approximately 7 cm across the narrowest part of the crotch region.
  • the first and second tissue layers 50 and 52 improve the tensile strength of the absorbent core 44 and reduce the tendency of the absorbent layer 48 to split, lump or ball when wetted.
  • the first and second tissue layers 50 and 52 also help to improve lateral wicking of the absorbed exudates, thereby providing a more even distribution of the exudates throughout the absorbent layer 48.

  • the ends of the tape-tab fasteners 54 are then secured preferably to outwardly facing areas of the diaper 20.
  • the barrier cuffs 62 should be disposed in the crotch region of the wearer and should provide the dispositions and functions described hereinbefore.
  • the distal edges 66 of the barrier cuffs 62 extend through the groin areas and diverge upwardly along both of the buttocks of the wearer. Neither of the barrier cuffs 62 encircle the thighs of the wearer.
  • gasketing cuffs 56 will encircle the thighs and create a gasketing action against the thighs.
  • the ends of the barrier cuff 62 are secured to the topsheet 38 to obviate the inversion of the barrier cuffs, for comfort for the wearer during application and use, and for ease of application.
  • the present invention is a diaper that is especially useful and leakage resistant against loose fecal material and gushes of urine, the improved containment characteristics being achieved in the following manner.
  • the surface material moves from the point of discharge toward the longitudinal edges 30. Surface material will contact the barrier cuffs 62 along the channel portion 70.
  • the surface material will tend to collect in the channel 96 formed by the channel portion 70 of the barrier cuff 62; the material being held in the channels 96 until the diaper 20 can be removed. Improved containment is achieved because surface material would have to flow up the channel 96, which direction is substantially directly against the force of gravity when the wearer is in an upright position, in order to penetrate and flow over the distal edges 66 of the barrier cuffs 62.
  • topsheet 38 terminates inwardly of the edges, and inwardly of the proximal edges 64 of the barrier cuffs 62 at least in the crotch region and because a leakage-resistant seal is formed along the proximal edge 64, liquids will be generally prevented from wicking underneath and beyond the barrier cuffs 62 to the edges of the diaper.
  • topsheet 38 may extend outwardly beyond the proximal edge 64 of the barrier cuff 62 in the front and rear waist regions 22 and 24 while still providing protection against liquids wicking out of the edges of the diaper 20.
  • the barrier cuff 62 has a flap portion 68 that is affixed to the backsheet 42 to form the gasketing flap 58 by the attachment means 88 adjacent the edge of the diaper 20 so as to provide a leakage-resistant seal along the edge of the diaper 20.
  • the flap portion 68 is preferably liquid impermeable so as to provide the most effective leakage-resistant seal.
  • the topsheet 38 may thus extend outwardly toward the edge of the diaper 20 in the waist regions, beyond even the proximal edge 64 and/or the seal means 78, and need only terminate inwardly of the edge (i.e., the seal formed along the edge by the attachment means 88) of the diaper 20; liquids being thereby prevented from leaking or wicking from the edge of the diaper 20 due to the seal formed along the edge because the topsheet 38 is encased between the liquid impermeable flap portion 68 and the liquid impervious backsheet 42, and because the topsheet 38 terminates inwardly of the edge of the diaper 20.
